While studies show that 30% of newer drivers aged 18-25 plan to buy an EV next, the overwhelming majority (58%) in the US still plan to stick with gasoline. To reach that demographic, EV manufacturers have to show that electric vehicles are a better alternative in terms of cost and performance. older) drivers away from gas.

A hydrogen-powered version of Hyundai’s Tucson sport utility vehicle has already appeared in southern California showrooms. The cost of making fuel cell vehicles has recently dropped dramatically.

The hydrogen fuel cell in the FCEV acts to keep the battery charged, but can directly power the electric drive motor, similar to the function of a gasoline-powered range extender. The cost of platinum makes hydrogen fuel cells an expensive proposition even in comparison to lithium-ion batteries. It’s not really a disruption.

Its like having a second fuel tank that you always use first -- only you fill up at home, from a regular outlet, at an equivalent cost of under $1/gallon. Scientist have confirmed that unlike gasoline cars, plug-ins will get cleaner as they get older -- because our power grid is getting cleaner. You dont have to plug it in.

Since it can refuel from a standard household outlet and from a gasoline station, it needs no new infrastructure. It is much more than that. Table of Contents. Conclusions.
